Bold, spicy and floral, it is deliciously intense without being overpowering. White grape and lychee nose leads to a fresh, textured palate with fruity finish.

Clear and golden with a creamy white head and light malt and citrusy aroma. Light bodied, smooth with citrus bitterness, some earthiness and a dry finish

Cask @ Pint Pot, Rochdale. Light clear golden with a thick creamy-frothy head. Session strength but not thin, and hoppy with mild floral notes in both aroma and taste.

Half-pint on cask at Firefly. Near clear golden-brown body, small sized white head, rich lacing. Ripe fruity nose, hints of lemony hops. The taste profile contains lemon, pineapple, and bread-like malts. Dry hop bitter end, short lived. Quite pleased. (Worcester 09.07.2018).

Handpull cask at the King's Head, Leicester. Golden, on the light side, clear with a thin white head and a lot of lacing. Some white grape, some jasmine and a bit of soap in the aroma. Taste is bittersweet at first with lychee and pineapple with a sharp bitter finish. Aftertaste is surprisingly astringent. Soft carbonation. Well-crafted if a bit harsh at the end.

On cask at Sankey's Taphouse, pours a hazy copper golden with a small white head. Nose brings out bready malt, gentle English hops and some fungal notes. Flavour is on the hoppy and bitter side, with English floral hops, and soft bready malt. Bit of harsh astringency, but it's manageable. Decent.

Cask-conditioned at the Pelican, Gloucester 8 June 2018 as 'Harbinger'. Golden in colour, with a decently-sized, white, head. Floral hops, pineapple and lychee fruits, slightly creamy malts, leading to a moderately dry finish. Enjoyable.
